The beginning was slow as someone who is very familiar with online "men's rights" communities - I was like, I'm familiar with incels, PUAs, MRAs, etc. - but the last few chapters I found incredibly informative, especially when Bates talked about discussing these topics with high school students and how the YouTube algorithm explicitly promotes this extremist, misogynistic content. A great read and something everyone should have an awareness of. I did skip the chapter about internet trolls because I have had enough real-life experiences with them that I didn't feel the need to read about them.

papreasaurus's review

It was incredibly challenging to know the following things;
1. People that Laura talks about in this book exist in large, hidden numbers
2. They could be anyone

This book contains extremely important and helpful information. It is something I think everyone should take a gander at least once in their life - regardless of their gender, sex or orientation. Because this is a reality we all face and interact with, even if it is on very different levels from one person to the next. But it honestly gave me so much anxiety listening to the audio book, that I need to make sure everyone is aware that it is a very difficult read / listen, and it is okay to read it in small doses.
